Hand knits and style is not an oxymoron.

About

Ready-to-knit refers to ready-to-wear but also to my deep love for the art of knitting. I am always ready to pick up my needles and cast-on something new. I’m a working mother of two. After reaching 40, I felt the need to reconnect to another part of my personality, the creative part, after spending so many years being a wife, a mother, a professional, a sister, a daughter. This creative part is a way to balance all the other roles in my life.
I needed something both relaxing and creative, and I turned to knitting quite naturally, having learned the basics in my youth. I started with a simple stockinette scarf during the Winter of 2011/2012 and have not stopped since. This blog is a way for me to share my projects and discoveries, and contribute to the ever growing community of fiber arts enthusiasts.

Geo-location: I come from Paris, France and live in Montreal, Canada since 2005.

I am in Blogging 101 and am catching up on some assignments and I saw a comment you made about wanting a visual tutorial on using wordpress but I can’t comment on it anymore. This video helped me a lot. It’s long and starts from the very basic action of actually creating an account but it’s so helpful and even has a list of topics in the description box. I hope this helps.

Hi! Very familiar story you tell; I picked up the needles almost two years ago as my husband bought be yarn for Christmas with the intention to encourage me to sit more in the sofa and relax! I started my blog a few months ago to “secure” that I do not stop; it is my favourite activity (and almost only…!) next to my busy Mother-wife-working-life…! And than you for the tip about the yarn store in Paris; been there today…really great! I will make a post about it later!
